Patch 4.2: Tier 12 Video Previews

We love our model viewer as much as the next person, but we know sometimes it can be daunting to load up Java or Flash just to see what new gear you'll be sporting come 4.2. While you still can view them in the viewer, we've also put together a bunch of videos that preview these new sets. You can find them after the cut.

I don't really remember all the druid tiers (You can't blame me for it though, all I remember are usually moonkins, trees, cats or bears) But, is this the first druid tier with legs?

It's not confirmed to have legs, there are two models--one has them and one doesn't. I filmed the one with legs just because I thought it was fascinating.

And nope, tier 4 had leggings =)

Yay, thank you Ashelia! :D Can people stop complaining about their tier now? (except Priests... poor fellas haven't really been awesome since T6)

They all really look much more unique now that we're able to see them in 3D, and on other models besides human... silly Blizzard. My favorite... should be Warlock, because of the awesome spider theme and the webbing which floats off the shoulders, but i'm a smidge disappoint -- the head is basically a reoriented shoulder. Plus, you can see most of our face! That hasn't happened on a Warlock tier since... well, since T1! (discounting 9 due to lack of uniqueness). I think the webbing should have come up to the nose, and glowing eyes should be added, ala Головной убор расхитителя гробниц (only horizontal instead of vertical). But, i'm gonna love it anyway... gotta work on some Spiderlock macros now.

Currently Druid and Death Knight seem to be the most unique and visually striking of the bunch, for me.

P.S. Woah, I just went to look at Orc/Troll Warlocks in T12, because I figured they may be the reason the helm is a bit more open than usual and it kinda makes me wish I were a Troll. The way their helm fits around the tusks is pretty awesome. Sure, not every tusk shape will be that form-fitting, but it's still cool.

Still not convinced by the Rogue T12. The blue stuff coming off the shoulders is token at best.

Disappointed by the fireball being orange on the blue version of the pala set. Blue fire would've been that much more epic.

Also, does anyone else think the priest set looks like the Bevelle Warrior Monks from Final Fantasy X?

mage armor with the fethers on the shoulders and helm look like druid armor, the druid armor looks like a batched attempt to grow a tree on your body, the warrior armor looks good the helm of the warrior armor however looks a bit large on the female models.the priest's helm, looks like a very spiffy neck brace, deathknights look alright, the helm looks terrible but everything else looks fine, the rouges looks perfect as does the shaman, paladins look a bit like a those geists in icecrown, and locks look alright the helms a bit much but looks fine otherwise. Hunters however are... yeah.

please tell me why a class that relies on ranged attacking would impair their visions and depth perception? seriously the helm look atrocious.

Rogue looks sick, it'll fit better on my goblin than those dirty trolls. And I think I'm seeing a trend with hunters, you know, using helms made out of dead mobs (murlocs, Shannox).

Ehhh the Rogue, Mage, Shaman, Druid(besides the legs), and warlock ones actually suit the class. The Hunter, Warrior, DK, Pally, and Priest sets just dont look good to me. The Hunter one looks so un-appealing and just looks like you skinned a Goblin and put his skin on yours. Now, i know that T11 looked like you skinned a murloc, but that looked cool. The T12 just isn't the right fit. The Warrior set looks like it'd be perfect for pally. I expected the warrior set to be the biggest, beefiest, strongest armor set there was. The DK set......sigh........at first we're death knights. Now we're hawkmen. I liked T10 and T11 with the skulls on the shoulders cuz that suited the whole idea behind the DK. The concept of DEATH in DEATH knight and what better symbol of death than a skull? But now, there's no skulls to be seen on the T12 set. Blizz at least put the glowing blue or red off of the armor. But the helm is not very well thought through, the shoulders are not very unique, and overall, the set is bland. I never show the helmet unless it looks really good. other than that i like showing my Night Elf DK's head with his long hair. If the helmet they show now makes it to the final set, im DEFINITELY not showing it. The Pally set looks like it would be PERFECT for a warlock set. With the fireball and the hood and everything. I'm not liking the whole dress thing for a Pally. Honestly, who wants to be tanking, in a DRESS? People ask who's the main tank? Raid leader says the pally. "Who" "The guy in the dress over there." If the set showed in some way that Pallies are melee type, but they use the power of the Light and Holy energy, then the set would suit the class. Finally, for Priests, i feel so bad for you. like everyone who's seen the Priest set, i first looked at the helm.....errr BOWL. im sorry Blizz, but what's up with the bowl? the poor priests dont get very good sets to show that Priests arent just taking up space. When people want to look badass while healing people with Divine this and Divine that, they dont want to be wearing a helm that looks like a bowl and covers up half their face. To be honest, Priests are screwed if it rains cuz they'll drown in their own helmet. People will take one look at their raid, and they are thinking "Good so far" until they see a priest. that poor guy has a bowl on his neck! Now im not a priest player. I dont fancy healing and all. But i heard all over that priests get the poop part of the deal. I hear they dont get a lot of good patches and changes to the class in whatever way. They finally get one good change. And now for their next Tier, they'll get something EPIC, but no. They get a letdown for the next gear set. So please Blizz, dont just leave all these classes unattended and in the dust. make them look as awesome as they did in T10 and T11. Whered all that creativity go? i know its still in there.

Is it just me or is there 3 versions of the tier 12 for warriors, does that mean we get a tier set for each spec now (fury/arms)?
